[quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1318342803' post='1400854'] Sod not having practiced and such like "I thought you were bringing the biscuits this week?" is the one that fills me with dread. [/quote] Reminds me it reeeeeeally is my turn next r/h

[quote]I don't want to play there. It's a shitole[/quote] - But everywhere we play is [quote]I don't want to play there it's a bit rough[/quote] - ditto [quote]We've not got many gigs coming up[/quote] - feel free to get involved in dealing with landlords [quote]We'll never fit in there[/quote] - well perhaps we could get by without the full PA and on and on And then with a different band [quote]### can't make it to r/h. He's got things to do at home[/quote] - this at 09:30 on the morning of a r/h starting @ 10:00 that has been in the diary for a good month or so [quote]I didn't know anything about these gigs[/quote] - same guy a week before the first of two despite emails having been flying around about them, related r/h's and new songs to work on, the excuse being wifey had filed them without him seeing them. GAH! Ah well. It still gets me out of the dumps when we actually all get together and fired up 'cos generally it all just works, and especially if it happens to be a proggy epic that sounds huge I feel better for a bit of music therapy

[quote name='burno70' timestamp='1317828598' post='1395094'] I;ve recently bought a Barefaced Super12T. Its such an easy carry its beyond belief! I live in a 3rd floor flat with no lift and taking the stairs with this cab was a piece of cake. Its not that its light for a cab - like my previous Markbass 151HR. Its just light full stop! Whilst I wouldn't describe it a 1 handed lift (I think you'd need to be pretty tall and strong for that - due to the shape) it is an easy carry. Not sure what the trolley wheels are on there for but they are quite fun and novel for the time being (yes I'm sad like that!)[/quote] Still loving my S12T and have been known to sling the Mono twin case on my back, GigSkinz amp bag & leads case in one hand and S12T by the side handle in the other hand and walk the lot from the car park into a gig....well it saves a trip, and has never come close to pulling an arm from a socket yet

Yup. Thats on my ToDo list with Jake very soon

Four hour r/h with the prog covers band in the morning followed by a gig with the country/americana band in the evening mean I am aching this morning. R/h went well until womeone poked their head roung=d the door and said "I've booked the room out after you" so there was a mad panic to pack up and get clear, not helped by the fact that while I normally use the studios old Trace combo (very old & knackered but it does what it needs) yesterday I had loaded the full rig to work on how to use the bass plus bass pedals so I had a lot to pack & get out. Evening...well it was a paid r/h really. Venue on the edge of town. Poster lost/binned. Noone much there bar a few kids (GOD I FELT OLD!! ) but we got through. Few cock ups but generally OK. Stood and chatted to a young guy who has just started down the path of bass in the break. Packed up and home in time to have a chat with my main band's drummers other band who had been playing round the corner from my house and were stood outside the venue gassing as I got back. Quote from their bassplayer [quote]So Al, if rockers play rock and proggers play prog, who plays country?[/quote] to which the answer was clearly[quote]Me[/quote]

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1317487385' post='1391234'] Oh the competition winner polos have only just been sent yesterday mate so those will be with you in the week [/quote] No probs. Wasn't sure on the position so just added in case.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1317380125' post='1390054'] Any deliveries today folks? I'm about to give the shipper an earful and upgrade to first class post. Cheers [/quote] Nope

Just be glad they all turn up Currently r/h with one of my part time bands is ALWAYS at least one member light

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1317122519' post='1386930'] [attachment=90343:IMG-20110924-00979.jpg] 51m0n & Walman talking compressors! [/quote] You mean kneeling at the alter of compression Nik Shame my ****ing camera phone didn't save the pic of the settings GAAH!

Has it finished yet?

[quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1316684948' post='1381291'] Yep have to agree also. In fact, the rubber on mine has started to split and crack which is very poor considering it less than a year old. I hope the rubber bit is just covering a more stable strap inside. Otherwise, if it snaps then I could be in for a bit of bother and pain if it falls on my foot or something. [/quote] The rubber cover on my old 121H combo's handlecame out of the end blocks, but I am pretty sure that there is a metal inset with holes the ends screw through so it shouldn't break. Funny to look back at this and see see Bobby Apostle's post as that was what I was using the combo for in one of my bands and it was fine - particularly as I have just invested in a set of PK5 pedals as well. Since the combo I have moved onto the LMT and Barefaced SuperTwelve, but the combo was great and served me well for quite a few years.

Back after the gig following the Bash. Fun day as ever, but despite promises to do so this year I STILL missed the jam room. To much sitting & chatting. Barney being the devil incarnate & tempting me the the S1. Resisted this afternoon, bujt for how much longer will I hold out!? Must tap up Jake for a couple of refreshers and hopefully I shall manage to express in words what I felt I failed to do in my bit ot the session Thanks 51mon for the compressor tweaking. Took two photos of the settings with my phone and could not find the damn things later on Good to see everyone again, and some new faces this year. Thanks Nik, Hamster & all others properly involved in putting on another successful SE Bash and roll on next year, when I really shall make it to the jam room.............honest

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1316781214' post='1382775'] I'm not going to be bringing anything now, my back is screwed but I will be there for a couple of hours. [/quote] I thought you were bringing the missus!! With all the above I think that I had better not bring any cards or I could be in deep do when I return

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1316774094' post='1382613'] Currently breaking in a Midget T, Compact, Super Twelve T and Big Twin T, which are all coming subject to fitting in the car! [/quote]HURRAH! [quote name='Merton' timestamp='1316778864' post='1382711'] Excellent! Need to try me er, all of those except the Compact [/quote]...add me to the list for a run of the Midget T - presently under review for those bijou gigs where you can't swing a kitten let alone a cat.

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1316462942' post='1378441'] I've also got a few of those at £5 each. [/quote] If you mean yous then that'd be good. Must get sorted !!

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1316457491' post='1378275'] As well as bringing my mini-rig and a couple of basses plus the DD that is currently up for trade, I also have some bits and pieces for trade or sale. A few 1m Klotz speaker cables that have been used a couple of times, some patch cords, a bag of used Neutrik jacks and whatever else I can find. Bassjumbles R US. Anyone need any specific cables to be made for Saturday? [/quote] Do you know I was just mulling that over. Could probably do with some short, and not quite so short Rightangle->Rightangle pedal board links. I'll try and get my act together for tomorrow if that's not too late

[quote name='winterfire666' timestamp='1316365086' post='1376973']has anyone tried hotcovers? if so how do they compare to roqsolid?[/quote] Can't comment on them, but they look similar to a padded cover I had made for my old TE combo years ago, except that was heavy duty cloth outer rather than leather-look [quote name='winterfire666' timestamp='1316365086' post='1376973']my only concern (with roqsolid)is they look a bit thin/lightweight are there any other more heavy duty options?[/quote] never had a problem with mine in years [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1316368340' post='1377026']I don't find roqsolids thin at all, you can have a speaker protection board sewn in as an extra for a reasonable fee too.[/quote] what he said. Mine have been used for transporting in the car rather than chucked in and out of a van, but they always stayed pristine, no rips or joint splits
